The Death of Dairy

Well, it's official. The doctor said we should seriously consider going dairy free. Then gluten free. I've been reading about the very positive responses parents or children with neurologically based disorders (think add, autism, apraxia) . I know I can do it, I just hate being the food police around my child. I also don't want to learn an entirely new way of cooking. I mean, come on, I just figured out how to make "normal" bread.

I just don't want to... whine, whine, whine....

So this week is dairy week. We are going to consume as much cheese, milk, ice cream and whatever other dairy products we can find. Then we're going to be done. For a very long time.... The dr said we should see results in 2-3 weeks, but the full benefits happen for about 6 months. Dan and I will decide when we're going to do gluten free. It might be easier to wait until after the first of the year.

So, for dinner we're have scalloped potato casserole. Dessert is a chocolate cake Anya picked out from Schwanns.

So, I just don't want to. And to be fair, neither does Anya. We're not expecting miracles. We know Apraxia won't disappear, but hopefully those l's r's and non-spontaneous speeches will get easier for her.
